Goodell giving Favre more time
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is giving Brett Favre the time and space he needs to decide whether his desire to play football is strong enough to push aside a lucrative deal that would settle his dispute with the Green Bay Packers and put him into retirement for good. On Friday, a spokesman for the National Football League announced that Goodell had postponed making a decision on whether to act on Favre's application for reinstatement, a clear sign that the league and the Packers are waiting to see if the quarterback will accept President Mark Murphy's 10-year, $20 million marketing and promotions offer. There are some inside and outside the Packers organization who think Favre's reluctance to play somewhere other than Green Bay is weighing heavily on his decision and that he might choose to stay retired rather than fight the Packers on getting his outright release.

I am not interested in this thread, I am curious as to how the NFL network got a mic into the office of Goodell's proctologist? Moon River.........

Exactly!!! Time is money. And the Packerderms can't make time across dry land. So, they lose.
